Subject: [gentoo-user] Compile question
Date: Sun, 16 Jul 2006 21:52:10 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44BAFB5A.6090802@gt.rr.com> (raw)

I have an AMD 64x2 with MAKEOPTS set to -j3.

I have noticed that some compiles (glibc for example) will use the
system to the fullest. top reports %CPU near 0%.  Other compiles, such
as openoffice seem to use only half as much cpu time.  For this top
reported consistently near 50%.

So I'm wondering if the openoffice compile used only one of the amd
cores.  Do some of the emerges ignore the MAKEOPTS setting?  Or is this
an upstream issue with the compile not using threads?
